Pakistan Batsman A Ali took responsibility of his ignorance in his bizarre and embarrassing run out on the third day of the second and final test in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
Azhar Ali edged a Peter Siddle delivery towards the third man boundary and thinking the ball had crossed the rope, halted in the middle of the pitch to talk to fellow batsman Asad Shafiq.
However, Mitchell Starc picked the ball less than a yard from the boundary and threw to wicket Keeper, who ran Azhar out, leaving the Pakistani for, who boast a combined 130 test and over 9,000 runs.
Pakistani batsman assumes that it was going for four, and he decided to get involved in a discussion with his partner Asad Shafiq in the middle of the pitch.
Azhar Ali did not even bother trying to run back and just looked at the bails been taken off with a perplexed look.
Azhar admitted that he and Asad Shafiq were not watching the ball and this is why they completely missed out on what was happening on the field.
Australia were 47 for one at close and facing a 1-0 defeat in the two match series after the first Test ended in a draw.
My son is going to speak about it for a long time and in a funny was, said Azhar of his 10 years old son Ibtisam , who luckily for his arrived at the ground after his father's dismissal.

Whenever I will say something abut cricket he will surely come back to this incident.
Azhar revealed he was discussion the swing of the ball with Shafiq as they chatted in the middle of the wicket.
Azhar in nonchalant manner, walked over to his partner to discuss whatever that batsman discuss in between overs.
However, Azhar Ali did not agree that the Australians displayed unsporting behavior by celebrating his dismissal.
I don't think it was bad sportsmanship and take full responsibility as I feel, I was a bit ignorant . It was nothing at all as no one got in my way or distracted me.
